      1. So, I keep expecting the GOP elite to put up a fierce resistance to Trump and it never arrives. What analytical mistake am I making?

      2. One answer is "various rivals -- Perry, Paul, Jeb -- have tried to beat down Trump and it has always backfired."

      3. But the attacks that have been made on Trump so far have been weak tea. "He's vulgar. Talks loud," etc Tone not policy or person attacked

      4. Compare weak-tea used against Trump with ferocious assault Romney unleashed on Gingrich in Florida in 2012.

      5. Romney saturated the Florida airwaves with ads about every slimy thing Gingrich did (treatment of women) and how hated he was in party.

      6. Why hasn't that approach been tried on Trump? There's more than enough material. 30 years worth of tabloid fodder & business dealings

      9. Normally if you have a rival candidate who repeatedly retweets neo-Nazis, you try and make the world know this fact.

          @HeerJeet it's because finally the GOP has to admit that trump is speaking for their base. No more. No less. Destroy him and they're done.
